CHINOOK FISHERMEN-
Chinook Fishermen at one of the number of river fishing areas where salmon could be speared or netted for food. If they were holding a festive Salmon Bake, one or more, depending on how many anticipated guests would be there, was sufficent. However for winter supply they used spears, nets, traps ,dams and everything to glean sheer volumes of fish. It was all dried for future consumption. |
| This carving has been donated to The Native American Youth and Family Center, Portland, Oregon (NAYA). The Center may be able to obtain the equipment (benches, band saw and hand carving tools) so I can teach the Youth to carve. They would need sponsors for this program. If you like my work and would be interested in helping make this happen email Nicole Maher (nicholem@nayapdx.org), mention you are writing about the Project for Art McKellips to Teach the Youth Carving. |
